SPORTS REHABILITATION
- multi-disciplinary approach to treat injuries
sustained through sports participation so the
athlete can regain normal pain-free mobility
- Primary goal: return to pre-injury activities
P protection
R rest
I ice
C compression
E- elevation
Rest
Relative rest
Affected area is rested, the remainder of the body is
exercised
Compression
Limit the edema
Ice wrapping
Compressive stockinette
SPORTS REHABILITATION
Most common sports injuries SPRAINS and
STRAINS
SPRAIN- injury to the ligaments caused by
overstretching or tearing
STRAIN- injury or tear to the muscle and/or
tendon
Shoulder
Rotator Cuff Injury= overuse syndrome
- baseball, tennis, swimming, etc...
- LOM, ms weakness, pain,
clicking sound
- if with tears,supraspinatus ms
- morphology of acromion in
relation to rotator cuff tear
- type 1= flat
- type 2= curved
- type 3= hooked
Shoulder
Shoulder Impingement syndrome:
- most common cause of shoulder pain
- subacromial space narrowing causing
compression and inflammation on subacromial
bursa, biceps tendon and SITS ms
Shoulder
Special tests for impingement syndrome
- Neers impingement sign- passively flex the
arm > 90 degrees, if with pain, supraspinatus
tendon is compressed between acromion and
greater tuberosity
- Hawkins sign- same as above but with IR of
shoulder. Supraspinatus tendon is compressed
against the coracoacromial jt
- painful arc syndrome- arm pain in abduction
60-120 degrees
Shoulder
Special tests for rotator cuff tears
Drop arm test- passively abduct shoulder with
IR. Pt unable to maintain abduction due to
complete tear of rotator cuff. (deltoids will
initially hold abduction but fails eventually)
Shoulder
Shoulder Dislocation
Anterior dislocation:
excessive ER and
abduction
Posterior dislocation:
fall on the forward
flexed and adducted
arm
Shoulder
Rehabilitation
Pain control and inflammation reduction
Restoration of motion: but limit movements that
would increase the chances of dislocation
Strengthening
Proprioceptive training
Return to task
in case of recurrent shoulder dislocation: refer to
orthopedic surgeon for closed reduction or
possible surgery
Elbow
Tendinitis
Lateral epicondylitis: tennis elbow
Extensor carpi radialis brevis and Extensor
digitorum communis
Pain is 1-2 cm distal to the lateral epicondyle
Pain with resisted extension (Cozens test)
Mgt= ice, rest, PT, counterforce brace
Elbow
Medial epicondylitis: golfers elbow/ little
leaguers elbow in children
Inflammation of the common flexor tendons origin
Hip
Hip Pointer
- Direct blow to the pelvic brim
or hip region which results in a
contusion to the soft tissues and
underlying bone ( bleeding in
hip abductors)
- Contact sports such as football
and hockey
- lasts for 1-6 wks depending on
the severity
- Tx: icing, active ROM, rest
Knee
Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome (PFPS)
-
Knee
Patellofemoral pain Syndrome
Vastus Medialis Obliquos ( VMO) Insufficiency
Help maintain proper patella tracking during extension
of the knee
Dynamic medial stabilizer
ITB tightness
Abnormal patellar tracking
Hamstring tightness
Increase patellofemoral joint reaction force in stance
Knee
Patellofemoral pain Syndrome
Treatment:
Ice, NSAIDs
Avoid kneeling, excessive stair climbing and prolonged
sitting
Proper stretching (vastus lateralis, ITB and hamstrings)
VMO strenghtening
Patellar mobilization technique
Knee
Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury
- most common ligament injured in athletics
- MOI: knee hyperextension injury or deceleration
injury
- most commonly in landing flat on their heels
Unhappy triad: ACL, MCL, medial meniscus
Common with rotatory activity
PE: anterior drawer test or
Lachmann test
Knee
Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury
- women> men : due to general muscular
strength, reaction time of muscle contraction
and coordination, and training techniques
- Dx: MRI
- Sx: sudden popping sound, swelling, and
instability of the knee
- conservative mgt: strengthening of
hamstrings and knee braces
- surgery: ACL reconstruction
Knee
ACL - post operative rehabilitation phases
Phase 1: reduce pain and swelling while gaining ROM
Phase 2: 3-4 wks, mini wall sits and stationary bike,
ROM upto 100 degrees flexion
Phase 3: 4-6 wks, controlled ambulation phase, flexion
to 130 degrees, aim is to improve balance
Phase 4: 6-8 wks, moderate protection phase, full ROM
with resistance training regimen
Phase 5: 8-10 wks, light activity phase, strengthening
with balance and mobility
Phase 6: 10 wks ---, return to activity phase, jogging to
return to sports
Knee
Posterior Cruciate Ligament
- direct impact to the front of the tibia itself, usually
when the knee is bent
- (+) posterior drawer sign most sensitive test for
PCL
- (+) posterior sag test
- Surgical
- Strengthening of quads
Knee
Meniscal tear
- Direct blow to the knee/twisting type of knee
- Swelling, tightness
- Symptoms increase with
knee flexion & localized
to the joint line
- McMurray test
- Appley compression test
Knee
Meniscal tear
- Conservative mgt: RICE, NSAIDS, electrotherapy,
quadriceps strengthening, glucosamine sulfate
- Surgery: arthroscopic surgery
preserve as much of the meniscus cartilage as
possible
Knee
Medial and lateral Collateral ligament injuries:
Ankle
Achilles Tendinitis
Inflammatory reaction
Running is the most commonly associated activity
Overuse most common cause
Treatment:
Decrease inflammation
Stretching of the gastrocnemius/soleus complex
Eccentric strengthening
Ankle
Inversion ankle sprain
- Most common traumatic injuries
- Lateral ligament
- Grade:
I mild sprain of the anterior talofibular ; (-) anterior
drawer and talar tilt test
II disruption of the anterior talofibular with sprain of
the calcaneofibular, (+) ant drawer test , (-) talar tilt
III disruption of the lateral ligament complex with (+)
ankle drawer and talar tilt test
Ankle
Deltoid Ligament Injuries
Eversion injury
Occur concomitantly with
inversion injury
Treatment
Ice, NSAIDs, relative rest, early mobilization
Strengthening, proprioceptive exercises
Foot
Plantar Fasciitis
- Sudden loading of the feet
Occur in both a pes planus foot and pes cavus foot
Focal tenderness at the origin of plantar fascia
Pain elicited by hyperdorsiflexion of the great toe
Tightness of gastrocnemius comples
Treatment
Aggressive stretching
Strengthening exercises
